BALDWIN, 1t Is claimed has made several similar
jumps elsewhere A disnatch from Onincv last
Fourth OF July, stated that he jumped 5 900 feet
In the presence OF thousands of people, and that
the town went wild kger him Hundreds of
young men were trying to emulate what they
believed to be great deed. Baldwin has a
parachute which breaks the fall. Chief Eber-
sold says even II they did not consider the dan
ger 20 the man who performed the feat thew
would withhold IL because he might alieht on
some one in the crowd below. A coterie of
sporting men arc trying to get the chief of police
10 give his consent. but they will probably fail
The only alternative then will be to go to Chel-
ienham Beach, or somewhere outside the city
limits
